UK Employment Reforms in 2013

The UK's Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has issued the "Fifth Statement of New Regulations" (the "Statement"), which provides details of regulatory reforms and implementation dates for 2013.

Whilst the Statement covers regulatory reforms from those governing wild animals in travelling circuses to the deregulation of the Code of Practice for Ice-Cream Van Chimes, a raft of changes relevant to employers will take place in March and April 2013.
